https://loops.video is a very promising ActivityPub platform for short form video, and could use your financial support to help fund and sustain this initiative!
I really need to write something about why having mega instances on the fediverse is a problem thatโs longer than a toot.
Probably a good time for a post on the subject given I now have about the same number of people following me here as I did when I closed my Twitter account.
How do I use this account on lemmy and vice-versa?
Is the upvote of lemmy the same as favorite of mastodon? (they do not sync) if not then what metric are these two uniquely gauged? @technology #instances #Lemmy #Mastodon #Help #ActivityPub
Who can see my posts? I am super curious as to how far this #activitypub can travel? Learning the #fediverse is interesting but a tad confusing for the laypeople like me. If anyone has an analogy do share. Visualizations help. #mastodon#server#instances
So, with genuine curiosity, where's the line between staying on a fediverse that federates with Threads and going back to Xitter?
Sure mastodon/AP is open etc ... but there's a plausible future point where Threads/Meta is so dominant, in a similar way to how mastodon.social is now, that it unquestionable shapes the culture and policies of mainstream mastodon.
@flatchulancelot@maegul you can help make that happen! If you see a Threads user that's breaking your instances rules, you should report it to your moderation.
Also, to prevent hostility within mastodon, people who want to be on #Instances that block Meta/Threads shouldn't be derided. The way Federation works, there is no reason to demand people defederate from instances that choose to allow Threads
To those leaving due to my โheavy handedโ, โethically questionable,โ and โmorally bankruptโ decision to let people decide whether to interact with Threads: I am sorry it didnโt work out.
To people on instances who will soon block me/us because I did not block Threads, thanks for being there, I wish you all well.

Can you actually #access PeerTube #content from other #instances? As a Kbin user, I can see both Lemmy threads and Mastodon microblogs and I know Mastodon users can tag Lemmy (and maybe also Kbin) magazines to make threads there. Is there a way to interact with PeerTube like that?
We're the George Lansbury Memorial Trust, set up in 2012 to commemorate the life of George Lansbury; the life-long campaigner for social justice.
George started life as a radical Liberal, became a socialist in the early 1890s & joined the Social Democratic Federation, Independent Labour Party, and then finally a Labour MP in 1922, leading the Party in the early 1930s.
How long until #instances start blocking perfectly fine instances because they didn't block #meta ?
How long until you stop seeing your friends on the #fediverse because they are "in the wrong instance" ?
I personally think that segregation, gated communities, borders, walls are not good for the network itself, and that blocking should be an individual choice, not enforced by anyone.
But to grok me you'd need to understand coercive groups & cults toxicity / group thinking drifts.
Flipboard has begun testing ActivityPub federation of user accounts ( flipboard.com )
